ESU 51832 SwitchPilot 3 Servo, 8-way servo decoder, DCC/MM, OLED, with RC feedback, updateable

SwitchPilot 3 Servo decoders are optimized for stationary use on your layout and can control up to eight RC servo drives. In order to simplify the previously rather cumbersome configuration of magnetic article decoders, the SwitchPilot 3 Servo has an innovative operating concept consisting of a 4-line, illuminated OLED display and three input buttons.

Operating modes The SwitchPilot 3 Servo is multi-protocol capable and can be used with command stations based on the Märklin® Motorola® system (e.g. 6021, Central Station® or Mobile Station®) as well as DCC-capable command stations. Configuration can take place on the main track as well as programming track. Thanks to RailCom®, CVs can also be read out.

Functionality The SwitchPilot 3 Servo can be powered either directly from the digital system or from an external DC or AC power source. The SwitchPilot 3 Servo has eight outputs for controlling RC servo drives. It can control these drives so precisely that, in addition to switching turnouts, it can also be used to control any other slow motion sequences. The SwitchPilot 3 Servo has a built-in switch-on pulse suppression to eliminate or reduce the system-related "jerking" of RC servos when the supply voltage is applied. Furthermore, the power supply to the servo can be interrupted to prevent "humming" of some inexpensive servos. Each of the eight servos can be operated either in "digital mode" or in "proportional mode" introduced for the first time with the SwitchPilot 3 servo: In digital mode, the servo can move to two end positions "A" and "B", depending on the switch position on the control panel. The position of the two end positions as well as the speed at which the servo moves in the desired direction can be set individually on the SwitchPilot 3 servo. Digital mode is perfect for switching turnouts or signals that should always remain in a fixed position. In proportional mode, the servo can move to any position within the "A" and "B" end positions and also stop. The servo runs only as long as the control panel sends a command. If you release the key, the servo stops. In this way it is possible to stop a servo in any desired position. The servo speed can be adjusted individually. Proportional mode is ideal for (water) cranes or locomotive shed gates or any other application where intermediate positions are needed. For each servo, in addition to the end positions and the rotation speeds, it can be determined whether it should luff when reaching the end position. Furthermore, the generation of the servo pulse can be influenced or the voltage supply of each servo can be switched off individually for adaptation to the various RC servos available on the market. In this way, inexpensive so-called analog servos as well as modern digital servos (with microcontroller) are optimally controlled.

Analog operation As a special feature, the SwitchPilot 3 servo can be used completely without a digital control unit: If desired, up to 16 pushbuttons can be connected for direct switching of the servos.

Setting The SwitchPilot 3 Servo can be flexibly set either on the programming track with DCC command stations or on the main track with POM ("Programming on Main"), or it can also read out CVs using RailCom®. If desired, it also learns the addresses directly via a programming button. Of course, the easiest way to set up the decoder is with the integrated OLED display and the three input buttons: All (!) settings can be checked directly on the decoder and changed if desired. A "programming" with the help of your command station is not necessary. It really doesn't get any simpler than this. For firmware updates, the ESU LokProgrammer can be used.

Protection As with our locomotive decoders, the outputs of the SwitchPilot 3 Servo are also largely protected against overload. We want you to enjoy your decoder as long as possible.
